Speaking last year, Avril admitted ‘relationships are not easy’ and said he had she finally learned to ‘prioritize’ herself instead of depending on other people.
She told FAULT magazine: ‘Yes, love is hard and relationships aren’t easy. It is not easy for anyone and now I have lived long enough to realize that I need to prioritize myself and take care of myself.
“I went through a phase where I was like, ‘I’m going to be independent and have time to myself for just a minute…’ And it really didn’t last that long!’ she said.
“But when I started the album, I definitely had the mindset of, ‘If I’m going to trust anyone in this world, it’s going to be me.'”
